Brooklyn museum wedding.







I am very excited to share with you this super fun wedding that took place on May 21st at the gorgeous Brooklyn museum. My bride wanted bright colored flowers with tons of texture and kooky shapes. She really wanted designs that were outside the box of what you would expect from wedding flowers and of course I jumped to the challenge. In the beginning she wanted to incorporate little herbs or plants for favors because she loves to garden, but, sadly the museum didn't allow soil ): This gave me the idea to incorporate little radishes into her design because I felt like that represented her. She loved it! You'll notice in the close up shot of the center piece where I sneaked one in. In addition to the main center, we added little silver julip cups with thistle, red spray roses and billy buttons. Her bouquet was made with bold colors and included red charm peony, yellow ranunculous, vibrunum, poppy pods, white ranunculous, white peony, and yellow spray roses. The bout's were SO much fun!! This is a horrible picture, but, I promise I'll post the professional one when they come. You may have read on a ton of blogs about this brides invitation. They were the most brilliant one's I have EVER seen. You can see it here. When I saw these invitations I was so inspired to somehow incorporate the musical influence. After some milling around in my head, it dawned on my that we could subtly add in a old record/45 insert at the base of the bout's! They were thrilled at the idea and I certainly have never seen this done (: There are a bunch more elements that went with this wedding, but, you'll have to wait for professional ones in the coming months (;

Wedding at Bubby's in Dumbo, Brooklyn








I try not to post two weddings on the same day, but May is crazy busy! This May 14th wedding was super fun to design. The bride wanted a modern spin on springy colors. The bridal bouquet was one of my fav's. We used these gorgeous roses with bright pink edges, peonies, green mums, parrot tulips, poppy pods, orchids, and ferns. The bridesmaids held bouquets made of all greens and whites including peonies, mums, poppies, and ferns. The ceremony was at the Brooklyn Historical society where we used a larger scale arrangement set behind them along this stunning oak table. This grandiose space was perfect for the ceremony!

Soho bookstore spring flowers wedding, NYC








This May 7th wedding was all about spring time! We used all soft colors of spring including lavender, yellows, blues and pinks. We caught the very last week of cherry blooms hence their full blooms. Enjoy!

A Montauk Club wedding in Park Slope Brooklyn.








This spring-y wedding was so much fun to design! The bride wanted an unstructured, elegant look using soft tones. I chose muted greens like eucalpytus, succulents, and dusty miller to accent the flowers. The main blooms were peonies, pink veronica, ranunculous, poppy seed heads, and queen ann lace. We alternated the centerpieces by using the full scale arrangement with mercury candle sticks and paired the succulent based arrangements with a collection of mini bell jars. These featured tiny succulents with grey spanish moss for a simple, elegant spin on a terrarium! The escort table had a huge cherry blossom arrangement with little bird bud vases at the base.

Not only is this the most brilliant invitation I have ever seen, but lucky for me, these super fun people happen to by my floral clients! Seeing this invite sparked some clever idea's for some of the floral design... which... you'll have to wait to see (: Check out the full blog by the talented Kelli Anderson!

Rose installation at Saint Vitus Bar, Brooklyn.





This project was a gift to my husband and his partners who recently opened up the much anticipated Saint Vitus bar + music venue in Brooklyn. They have been open for one week and already have regulars! When I saw the architecture come together with the all the metal finishes, black tiles, wood and velvet, there was no hesitation for what I was going to do. The iron mesh where the lighting is hung above the bar was perfect for hanging roses! A few hundred of them (:
It looks like I'll be doing some projects here in the future. Come down for a drink and gaze at the pretty flowers if your in the neighborhood.
